In the breeding practice, marker-assisted selection is rapidly becoming an established tool for crop improvement. Most applications today involve selection of simple, single-gene traits ...

This book brings together information on the new tools and techniques of molecular genetics in crop improvement. These tools include molecular marker techniques such as AFLP, RAPD, AFLP, and PCR ...

This research revealed high genetic diversity and identified specific markers that could facilitate the characterization of genetic resources for crop improvement[4]. Such molecular approaches are ...
